The BEST system you've ever built !!!!


What is the best system that you have ever put together , from source to speakers including cables ??? After all the swaps and auditions I'm looking for the final "aahhh, that's the ticket" sound to you and what components took you to Audio Nirvana. {This is a survey of actual auditions, not what you read in a magazine} THANKS,

Hi Krellpower 1.My current "best" starts with a Clearaudio Ref. in Lloyd Walkers table/arm/phono,an AHT line,Burmester cdp001,Lamm M1.1s,Von Schweikert VR-6s wired with Lloyds internal wire.the system is wired with Omega Mikros Ebony interconnects and planar 3 speaker cable.I also use Valid Pts. and Ultraliks--Microsmooth for digital and Disc Doctor. I could imagine a little more ,but not without a serious out-lay in cash and something else may slide off the plate.Tom

Thank you Kirk930, that's a very nice offer you have extended! Yes I do like older Krell gear alot! I have many pieces of vintage Krell for my main rig. How far is Anderson S.C. from you? I get there once or twice a year.
REGARDS.

This is the best thread I have looked at so far on Audiogoninsane. There's enough here to keep a legion of psychiatrists working for two careers. I took a stab at an answer to another great egomaniacal question about the minimum amount required for a true SOTA system, where Albertporter started the bidding above 100K, by asking if he had been locked up yet. I didn't send it in, thinking it too impolite. Obviously he is still out and about. I congratulate him on his ability to elude the mundane and wish him the best listening to his system. I am impressed, nay humbled by his arcane knowledge of things hi fi and his great grasp of the quintessence of reproduced music. If I didn't know better, I would think the whole thing is a hoax. For that kind of money I would insist on a few live musicians dropping in daily after my hard day's work is done to provide some real music. I think audio has gone full circle and is actually munching on its tail at this point.
